The Association of Private Healthcare Institutions of Serbia awarded the Eskulap Award to Hemofarm Foundation for ‘extraordinary contribution to the healthcare system of Serbia and health of Serbian citizens’, for having initiated and conducted the UNBREAKABLE national campaign for fighting depression and stigma.

Hemofarm Foundation initiated the UNBREAKABLE national campaign in April 2021, with the aim of raising public awareness on preserving mental health and creating a social movement for fighting depression and stigma which accompanies those affected. Over one million people have joined the UNBREAKABLE movement to date, while over 15,000 persons have received aid and support via free and anonymous SOS line: 0800 001 002, or e-mail: pokret@nesalomivi.rs and podrska@nesalomivi.rs.

Since 2019, the Association of Private Healthcare Institutions and Private Practices of Serbia has been awarding the Eskulap award to the most prominent institutions, organisations, and associations that have – through their activities, initiatives, engagement, and consistency, contributed to the reputation and recognition of the private healthcare sector in Serbia, improvement of health of the citizens of Serbia and improvement of the healthcare system of the Republic of Serbia.

The Eskulap award was awarded to the representatives of Hemofarm Foundation at the Fourth Congress of Private Sector Healthcare Professionals in the end of March in Belgrade.
